If anyone thinks Trump gives a damn about nurses helping people, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Yeah, that was wonderful. Thank you.

Gee, it's almost as if he's been following a playbook all along.

Because it's ultimately about taking over the entire country.
And even then it won't be enough.

Sad to hear. Not many remember this band, I guess.
Here's a picture from around '95 of me (kinda) and my bassist. Check out the bottom blue box to the bass player's right. There's a "TV" on it. Somehow (I don't recall how), we acquired Television's gig boxes at our rehearsal space.

I agree. Free & easy to obtain would be ideal. But even that would exclude many people who are housebound with no method of transportation to facilities that would provide such services.

Millions of voters do not have a driver's license.
ID costs money and is difficult for many (especially older and/or poor people) to acquire. Requiring ID is the equivalent of a poll tax, which is unconstitutional per the 24th amendment.

Scaring people away from voting is just a plus. The plan is to pull anyone off line who isn't white. In blue districts, of course. We all know that only citizens can vote. Citizen or not isn't the issue. It can be sorted out - after the election.

I've been saying all along he'll go his entire life without understanding what real love is.

Of course he's unhappy. He always will be.

So, there's that.

I am. I thought for sure they'd rule against California. With their only explanation being "Because FU, that's why".

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but this is fake. A poor photoshop. Look at how straight and even the text is. No t-shirt looks like that.

She doesn't want millions of dollars in restitution. She wants a simple apology. A price far too steep for this administration.

Wow. Nice job.

Nice job, Brian. I gave a like on YouTube too. On this and 'that other one'. Beautiful work.

Laughing it off to sow doubt.

He's LYING about administrative warrants being signed by a judge. If they were, they would be JUDICIAL warrants. He's flat out lying because they've got no defense.

He also did the Trump thing of punting to "the next
couple of weeks" about reviewing excessive force.

03.02.2026 16:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 25    ๐Ÿ” 5    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Hilarious.
Btw, that was filmed outside the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC (closed in 2016), where I saw the midnight show of Episode I in '99 (yeesh, why did I just admit that?).

It's a precursor to demolishing the Center. My guess is once it's off the radar a bit, bulldozers will move in, unannounced of course. Similar to what happened with the East Wing.

02.02.2026 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Pathetic, indeed. A likely narcissism disorder. But you can be sure the vast majority of the GOP are doing similar. From Trump on down. It's one of the reasons they behave like online trolls in real life. Simpletons programmed by social media.

It reads like a Trump post. The only thing missing is the all caps and misspellings. He's taught them well. Expect more of this.

02.02.2026 15:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 23    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think this was the plan all along.

1) Put his name on it
2) Attendance tanks
3) Close the Center
Next step: Demolish the Center.

Much like the East Wing, it will be done before anyone can stop it.

"Can we not talk about politics" is EXACTLY what good German citizens said at the dinner table in the early 1940s, as "other" citizens were being carted off to concentration camps. Exactly.

Yes, please. Do that. Put "America First Party" on the ballots in the mid-terms. Let's see how well that works out. Make it nice and easy for moderate Republicans to ditch you.

Sounds legit.

You didn't really think it would tone down when they swapped goons, did you?

"Rhetoric" is now a death sentence.

The ultimate dream of the abusive right-winger.
